This means that either the root partition must be an ext2 x x filesystem, or you must have a separate ext2 partition mounted at x x /boot. x x x x Currently, /boot is located on a partition of type ext3. If you keep x x this setting, you will not be able to boot your Debian system using x x aboot. x x x x Use unsupported filesystem type for /boot? x x x x <Go Back> <Yes> <No> x x x mqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqj When selecting 'yes', the installer loops back to partitioning menu. Now, making a new partition for /boot, and setting it as ext2. When going forward, it gives the same error message - even when the /boot partition _is_ an ext2 file system. Is it really so that aboot can't boot from ext3 partition? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
